This documentary essay is about the foreign policy of the United States. It is in three parts. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy ; 'The Mafia Principle' ; propaganda ; ideology ; violence and force.

It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding it's imperialistic influence.

Inside the United States this has been made possible with a propaganda of fear for the horrible enemies like the Soviet Union, Communists, more recently Islam and a love for "free markets", "democracy", "freedom" and so on. Externally - and increasingly internally, this has caused massive poverty and suffering, genocide, war, coups, crushed unions and popular movements and environmental destruction.
